Delight in these Raspberry Chocolate Lava Cupcakes, a decadent dessert featuring rich chocolate batter with a gooey molten center and bursting fresh raspberries for a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Lava Cupcakes

  • 4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Filling

  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Melt the semisweet chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, then gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture followed by the flour until just combined.
  2. Fill cupcake molds: Spoon half of the batter into greased or lined cupcake molds, add 2-3 fresh raspberries into the center of each, and cover with the remaining batter.
  3. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cupcakes for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains gooey and molten.
  4. Cool and serve: Allow the cupcakes to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then carefully remove and serve warm to enjoy the molten chocolate lava center along with the juicy raspberries.

Notes

  • Use fresh raspberries for best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overbake, as the lava center needs to remain gooey.
  • Line cupcake molds with paper liners for easy removal.
  • Serve immediately after baking for the best molten effect.
